Is the torque arm stud on an alloy brake plate removable?
I have the full width alloy hub and the torque arm stud is bent.
Drags do not list the stud for sale or give it a number. They do list the torque arm nut 12689-54.
I have used heat and Plus Gas with no success.

I thought, maybe wrongly, that the stud was put in at the time of casting - meaning it’s not removable.
Can it be bent straight?
I wouldn’t drill it out, as it would be easier and safer to buy a new brake plate.

Paul, thank you for your reply. You may be right as the end of the stud inside the brake plate seems to be partly covered by the casting. The stud is not ruined and may still be useable. If I heat the stud to bend it that might melt the casting so I will leave it alone for now.
